Angela and Me
It’s the Scarborough dark of the morning
I should have stayed in bed
Couldn’t find my way to the rink
She was there instead
Wish I was there instead
So messed up--the game’s in trouble
Sure could use your help
Why’d I dream a black girl Gretzky?
You’ll just goat yourself…
I can’t help myself…
Are ya playin--Angela
My boy’s all sayin’--Angela
I’ll be waitin’--Angela
Angela and me
Angela and me
CBC’s got Russians in the classroom
No one looks like you…
Walkin’ home my way after house league?
The parents hate me too…
I don’t look like you…
I can’t score, my mitts are like stone now
Smoke blue’s all I see
50 past the back of Dad’s Gremlin
That nervous kid’s still me
Yeah that’s just like me
Are ya playin--Angela
My boy’s all sayin’--Angela
I’ll be waitin’--Angela
Angela and me
Angela and me
The Chance
(Emm Gryner/Michael Holmes)
Once upon a broken star
I was told the burden’s my heart
What’s the point of loving like
Everybody’s waiting to to get out of sight
Drive on thru
The blue
Mystery Trees and the moon
Drive like there’s only me and you
This is the chance
Make our escape
wait any longer
and we know it’s gonna get away
This is the chance
Make our escape
wait any longer
and we know it’s gonna get away
Monarch angels drive me to
The mission bells of San Miguel
with you
We’re so far off and far away
But The Badlands and the beaches got our game
Drive on thru
The blue
Mystery Trees and the moon
Drive like there’s only me and you
…
This is the chance
Make our escape
If we wait any longer
and we know it’s gonna get away
All that I wanted was this love
All that’s unjust I see undone
All that we need is in these turns (sweet turns)
Business and pleasure
baby let it burn
REMEDY (demo July 14)
gunfire and survival
that's just how it goes sometimes
I think of the day I kissed you in New York
Shambles all around me
Hell well she found me
But you
You made me see
Though all's gone wrong
There might be a remedy
I passed you by like a ship that night
I didn't know
If I'd see the sun again before I get old
But I sang and I smiled
You moved at a million miles
Like you always do
There I was drowning in blue
But you
You made me see
Though all's gone wrong
There might be a remedy
Don't know how long sorrow's been my friend
It fused to me like it might never end
Just one look at you is like fireworks and truth
And I feel like something's gonna change.
THE DEAL (demo - October 2016)
Over being apprentice then master in clutching on
When the typhoon hits my ribs
Would've taken your lazy looks
Over this assault
On forgiveness, forever
Farmland stretching out
In the corner of my old eye
Shot of fear
That shade of blue that started it all
A wagon I can't steer
Crows lined down the lane
Have nests far more faulty
And they fight for their survival
They know just who's their rival
And oh rings of 16 diamonds
You'll find a new home
In those arms
Oh the things that I can't hide from
Like in my silver days
I'll still be in the shade
That wasn't the deal
Just as I was clearing
the soil from this sun ray
(Now I must survive)
That wasn't the deal
Forged in St Peters
Born in ancient ruins
(Now I must survive)
Would have gone for a little break
Didn't have to sever
I'm a late bloomer Burned the rumours
Got on the straight too late
Would have swallowed a little stray
Could have bounced right back
Now it's a full on attack
Who finds love in that?
VICTORY KIDS
(J. Elliott/E. Gryner)
He sees the city burn
Melted-down illegal turns
Biker vigils and blackened boys
He’s still making a bit of noise for
Victory kids and their weekend wars
Madness comin through the floor
It’s trickery he’s seen it all before
Train wrecks nobody can ignore
He lets them go
The legend lying low
Club lights up everyone!
Let’s get this freak reunion done
Then paint our eyes dark for McQueen
When it gets hard to be human beings
Oh those Victory kids and their weekend wars
There’s life in them yet but oh what for
It’s trickery he’s seen it at the door
Train wrecks on the Dance Cave floor
He lets them go
the legend lying low
He’s already gone for gold
The legend lying low
Where did the future go?
Everyone wants an android soul
Here comes the end of joy
He’s still making a bit of noise for…
BOY [work in progress]
SWEET NOTHING
And in your hand is where the other five are
What do you think I’d do
Drive to the well to wish for you
Oh no
‘Cause you gave me sweet nothing
Hey surprise I’ve healed after all this time
No more pretending and praying for affection’s sign
What do you think I’d do
Cry to myself cause it never came true
Oh no
You gave me sweet nothing
You gave me sweet nothing
You gave me sweet nothing
How can I feel something
When you took my time
I wasted all my energy on you
I don’t think about you
Like my heart once told me to
Cause nothing’s all you gave me as I recall
[solo]
What do you think I’d do
Drive to the well to wish for you
What do you think I’d do
Cry to myself cause it never came true
Oh no
‘Cause you gave me sweet nothing
You gave me sweet nothing
You gave me sweet nothing…
